Hen's Teeth

Our chickens are still giving us grief. They still insist on roosting in the bush and escaped from the coop when I shut them in it in an attempt to persuade them to use it at night.

On the plus side, at least one of them has started laying eggs again. Just like that.

I've been keeping a tally of the eggs that we've been getting since earlier this year - 55 eggs since the end of January. Those eggs are worth about $36 which is roughly the amount that we've spent on layer feed in the same period. We're just about breaking even. It's lucky that they're fully free-ranged otherwise they'd be eating many more pellets and we'd be out of pocket. Lucky for them, anyway.
